To the eYident nath·e modesty of my worthy and distin g·uished Ancestors may be ascribed, I opine, the non-existenee of "Memoirs of the Hewetson Family;" or the stirring timf>s in whieh they lived, The following· pages not being intended for the public eye accounts for the more or less unconwutioual style employed. The spirit m whieh this Sketch is written is that em bodied in the seutimPnts expressetl h:r Lord Lindsay in his Introduction to the "Li Yes of the Lindsays," where he says:- " Be grateful, then, for your descent from relig-ious as well as uobll' Ancestors: it is your duty to he fin, and this is the only wortliy trilmt.:• y,,u 1'.,lll 11nw pay to tl10ir aslH•;.;, Yt-t at tl1e same time lw lllll:';t jt•aluusly (Ill y,,ur :,.;-u:u·,.l li,,;f this hlwful satisfaeti011 drgPnr1·,1tP i11t11 arr«ganc-P, nr a f:111c-i(1d superiority on!r those Kohles of Gui.l's erPati( Let other mortals, Hons of earth, Boast their titles, power, and birth ; The lowly mortal here enshriu'd Knew man for better ends designed ; His origin from Heaycu he dre"·, And always kept that Ifo::ixeu in Yiew, Careless of all this worltl ean name, Returned with joy from whence he came.

HE most remote ancestor of this Family (which is one of considerable antiquity, and has long been of distinction in Ireland) to whom we can assign il a elate is John Heu:eiso11, merchant, of York (or Hewsonne, as the Somerset Herald "Glowr" ga,·e the name in his -Visitation of York, made in the years 158-i-,j), living in that city in the reigns of Mary I. and Queen Elizabeth. He was born in or before A.D. 1498, in the thirteenth year of Hem;y VII. (six years after the discowr_r of America, and elewn years lJt•fon, Henry YIII. ailceuded the Throne of England). He was admitted to the freedom of the City of York in the thirtieth year of Henry YIII. (1,j:3i-S) as '"Johannes Jfowson, ~forchaunt of the Citie of Yorke." Before the middle of the sixteenth century the family was settled in Ireland. About the same period many eminent and ancient Yorkshire and other families went o,·er to that country, for example, those of Bland, Lambert, Loftus, .Mossom, ~Iusgraw, Poe, etc., which at the time or afterwanls were connected by marriage with the Hewetsons. Hewetson (old English He1cs,mne) is a derivative of the Norman name of Hugh, which, though of rare occunence in its simple form, has furnished a host of derivatives, some of B 2 lIDIOITIS OF 'l'IIE HO-CSE OF "·hich we subjoin. ,·iz. :-Hem=•t,-nn. Hewson. Huehon, Hewison, Hewston, Henson, Hughson, Hueson, Hueston, Huson, and Huston. Hewson is clearly "Hughson," thP son of Hugh, which, with Hewetson, are diminutives and pafron~·mics of "Hugh" in the softer form. Two only of the before-name,l patronymics, derirntfres of Hugh, were used by the fomily-Hewetson and Hewson. There are fi,·e principal bnrnclws of tlw family. At first there existed two main bruuclws: (1) tlw dt>s(•pndants (•f Thomas Hewetson, eldest son of John of York, who settletl in the county of Kildare, aml (2) those of his second son Christopher Hewetsou of Swor branches of the family in the counties of Dublin, Kilkenny, Kildare, Carlow, Tipperary, ,Y exford, and Limerick, and enabled him to arriYe at what we may call a final decision, as we sre that the question had arisen fourteen years before, when he proceeded B.A. as "John Hewson or Hewetson." ,ye now know, with the pedigree before us, that his reasons for reyerting to the orig·inal form "·ere perfectly correct. The second and longer surname has always been borne by the second sou of John of York, the Rev. Christopher Hewetson, and his descendants, of Swords, Thomastown, Carlow, Tlmrles, and Clomnel, though in State Papers and by tl1e histurinn other derirntiYes of "Hugh" have been gin.1 11 to some of them, ,·iz. :- On 20 )lay, 160-J., ~Ir. Christopher Huetson, an ancient :Master of Arts and a Preacher, held the Prebend of Howth, with 011e Rectory annexed, rnlue per annum £46 6s. Sd. sterling. The Archbishop of Dublin, Ptttron. Tlw Vicarage of Swords, value per ,rnnum f:-iO sterling. }fr. H ut>tson, a }faster of Art, a Minister, aml a learned Prenchl•r, is Incumbent and resident there. The Archbishop of Dublin, Patron. The Regal Visitation of 161,j valued the Vicarage of Swords at one hundred marks (£66 13s. 4d.), Christopher Hewetson being then its Vicar and Prebendary of Howth. In 16:30 the Church of Howth was falling into decay. Mr. Huetson, at that time Prebendary, complained that the Lord of Howth (Sir Nicholas, 22nd Lord) and others detained from him twenty acres of lan Richard (and 1wphew of Sir Christopher Foster who married Eleanor Ussher, a granddaughter of Adam Loftus, Arch bishop of Dublin I,jG7), married -first Elizabeth daughter of Christopher Huetson of Swords-Per pole ami11e m,tl yn/,.,.~, un eayle cli,'9_Jlayecl Oi'. The Liber Munerum Publicorum Hibernire records that on 1-i July, lG-t-~, Christopher 1-Iuet;;on \rn;; Member of Parliament for Swords. In the Enrolment of Adjudications (Records of Ireland) in fa,·our of the '4-9 officers, Thomas Hewetsou and Christopher Hewson are mentio111~Ll as Protestant Com missioned Officers who served in the \Yars of Ireland before 5 June, 16-t-9. At the period of the Restoration (16130), eight cottages an ARlIORUL BEARIXGS. The effluxion of four centuries puts it out of our reach to ascertain whether John of York inherited his father's coat armour, or obtained the grant of arms blazoned below, but as to this we shall briefly remark later on.

The date of the grant of arms to the family is lo8t iu antiquity, but we have strong reason for believing that John of York (born in or before A.n. HHS) inherited his coat armour, in which case the grant might datt> from the milldle of the fifteenth or an earlier century. "\Ye are led to this conclusion by taking into consideration the very high order of the family arms, that he was a person of some consequence, anu married into a family dt•scended from \\~illiam the Conqueror and the Earl of 1\Ions and Louvain, his wife being )Ian:i·arl't the :seroml (laughter nf ,Tulm Lawuert, E:,q .. of HE,YETSO:-. OR HEWSO~ OF IllEL.\.XD. 5 Calton and Skipton in the county of York, Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. But supposing coat armour was granted to John of York, then the date could not have been later than the commence ment of the sixteenth century, from the circumstance of his second sou Christopher, Yicar of Swords !;j.J,i, bearing arms in his father's lifetime, indicated by the breast of the eagle being charged with a, "crescent sable," the distinctive mark of his being the second cadet of the family, and differentiating his coat armour from that of his father. "~e may here draw attention to the very high order of the arms. Nesbitt, in his "Heraldry " (17i2), says: "The Sun is the Chief of all the Planets and Celestial Bodies. The Eagle is said by our Ancient Heralds and others to be the Queen of Bircb, a;; the Lion is said to be the King of Beasts." In the language of arms the Eagle is emblematic of a Lofty Spirit, Fortitude, and :Magnanimity of Mind, whilst Ermine is an emblem of Purity, aml symbolically represents Justice. Gules symboliies Yalour, being- besides, the colour heraldic, the prerogative of Royalty. The legend on the arms, "Non Lumen Effugio," is Angliciied by "I shun not the Light; " and that above the Crest, "From Goel I receive my Glory." Now as coat- armour was granted with reference to acts, conduct of life, and specially noteworthy circumstances which attached tu or distinguished the grantee, we may remark, without arrogating to the family \'irtues common to thor,e of gentle birth, that the individuals noticed in this skE.>tch possessed and tmnsmittecl the family characteristics~ p1o·ity of life, gol/dness of heart, intellectual abilities of a high degree, and that rnlom· or constitutional fearlessness which, though by no means the monopoly of blue blood, is seldom absent from the breasts of those who are highly born.

Kerry, named in his father's will; spoken of in the county of Kerry as the "Rich Foreigner." 1\larried 23 Oct. 1737 J\LrnGARET, then in her 19th year, of Royal descent (born 1718, died at Ennismore House 28 July 1809, aged 91 years), seventh dau. of Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, by his wife Elizabeth (whom he married :30 June 1703), second dau. of David Crosbie, Esq., and sister of Maurice, first Lord Brandon. Ennismore, containing 1170 acres of land, was one of the residences of the "Old Knights'' of Kerry from about 1600 to the closing- year of the seventeenth century, the "Grove," uear Dingle, being their principal one. In 17:3, Mr. Hewson, upon his marrying the seventh of the nine daus. of Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, leased the whole estate from his father-in-law, and his descendants still continue to live there. The appellation of "Rich Foreigner," by which Mr. Hewson was known in Kerry, is thus explainecl. HEWETSOX OR HEWSOX OF IRELAND. 13 Down to the closing year of the eighteenth century, and even later, so strong was the clan feeling in this county, and so remote was it from the rest of the most. " advanced " parts of the island, that the people there always spoke of the inhabitants of any other county in l\Iunster and the other three proYinces as "Foreigners." An old Kerry gentle man, not long since deceased, used to say that the Hewsons of Ennismore in 1750-1770 were the wealthiest "foreigners " of that day in Kerry, their foreign origin being simply their arrival in Kerry from the next county, Limerick, in or about 17:J0. The roads in many parts of J\Iunster at that time were n'ry bad, and both gentlemen and ladies were obliged to saw time and trouble by traversing them on horseback instead of using carriages. There is an old Kerry tradition that it was on a journey of this kind from Ennismore or its neighbourhood that :Miss Fitzgerald first made her futme husband's acquaintance. The horse that she was riding from that place into Limerick falling lame or casting a shoe, she and her attendant groom were at a loss how to proceed, when a young gentle man (~Ir. John Hewson) happened to pass by on a good steed, the loan of which he asked her to accept, and walked by her side to the house of her friend in the county Limerick. The acquaintance led to an attachment and the marriage of 1737, of which the issue was numerous, and there arrived at maturity three sons and six daughters (F 1 (below) ; F 2, p. 26; F 3, p. 28; F 4, p. 29; F 5-F 6, p. 31; F i-F 9, p. 32) :- F 1.

Kf•1'l'~·, 011 l\fonday, 7 Dec. l\IarriP control, carried out the function of" Harvest Home " with much edrd at Ennismore ; and for years, with the assistance of Mrs. Hewson and their daughters, was instrumental in prm·iding Christmas Treats for the inmates of the Listowel "\Vorkhouse; also in numerous ways of an unostentatious character he proved himself the friend of a struggling tenant or a destitute labourer. He was a familiar figure in the hunting field half a century since, and was a splendid type of the Irish sportsman, and acquired for himself the reputation of riding "straight and hard." He was also a prominent figure at the impor tant coursing meetings of the old days, and was successful in winning the Cork and Limerick Counties' Silver Challenge Cups with his well-knov,11 animals "Bugle," ".Ai·gus," and " Salmon." The Cups are of a pretty and chaste design, and of massive appearance. For many years previous to his decease l\fr. Hewson enjoyed the reputation of being the best tandem whip in Kerry, and it is said that, even when age had deprived him of much of the robustness of youth, he still considered forty miles at a stretch a light achievement. In his early days he was a daring and intrepid rider, and an instance is recorded of the manner in which he was instrumental in saving the lives of a number of seamen owing to the possession of these qualities. "\Vhen, in his twenty-third year, the wreck of the " City of Limerick " took place off the Ballybunion coast, he recog nized the perilous condition of four of the crew, and rode out on his horse "Soot" and succeeded in rescuing them. The sea at the time was running high, and in a few minutes more the men would have been dashed to pieces. C 18 )rJDIOITIS OF THE rrorsE OF Mr. H0"·son l0d an adin• pulJlic lifP, and was a member of a number of public bodies and institutions of rnrious kinds, and was as popular amoug-st thC' mem hers of thP n1ri0u;; Boards as lw was 011 tlw fiC>ld.

In the '- bfac-k '4i," when the failure of tlw potato crop causC'd such desolation amongst the Irish peasantrJ·, Mr. Hewson was au actiw and energetic member of three of the Relief Committees appointed to grapple with the deplorable crisis which had beC'n created, and under the strain of whid1 the Irish Poor Law systC'm broke down. His father was Chairman of the Local Committee in Listowel. l\Ir. Hewson witnessed some of the most harrowing scenes, and strove as far as his purse would permit to improve the condition of those whom 1\Ir. A. :M. SulliYan spoke of as "cadawrous creatures that once had been men and women maue in the image of God," but whom sturndion and pestilence had reducecl to the lowest state of human misery. Years afterwards he shuddered when recalling the heartrPntling scenes which were at this newr-to-be-forgotten period such a common feature of Irish life. In politics Mr. Hewson was a ConsernltiYe of the most moderate type. He ahrnys maintained his own political views, but was eYer tolerant of the political opinion of others. H 5.

Dublin, 24Xowmber, loi5; Vicar of St.Andrew's, Dublin, 1:2 February, 16,8. Noble in 1806, in his continuation of Granger's "Biographical History of England," notices a quarto mezzotinto portrait of the Archde,tcon, painted by :B. Luttrel.andengrared byJ. Smith in Hl90 (hmzp.1YilliamIII.), in his clerical habit ancl scarf, as very scarce and fine, and which C'lee the engra,·er thought was the rerr best of Smith's works. Gmnger knew of only one impression of the print, and considered it singular that so fine a mezzotinto should be so little known, and that the person it represented was still less so. The notice concludes: "Probably this l\fichael Hewetson was that Friend and Addser of Bishop 1-Vilson, of whom some itccount will be found in Keble's Life of that saintly Prelate.'' Iu this surmise he was quite correct, as appears later 011. He was colhlted to the Archdeaconry of Armagh by Primate :Michael Boyle 9 November, 1693. On ~t July, 1uH4, he placed in the floor of the Church of St. Columba ,tt Swords, near the chancel step. a memorial stone to indicate the resting-place of hi,, g-randfather Christopher, a former Yic,u· of tha_t Church.

His Lordship acquiesced, and directed Dr. Bray to seek a suitable indfridual; and he sPlected the ReY. Miehael Hewet son, ArchdPacon of Armagh, who was approwd by his Lordship. The selection of l\:Ir. Hewetson had been made about the time that Colonel Seymour had been appointed GO\·ernor, and before he embarked the Bishop had an inter view with him, Dr. Bray, and the proposed Commissary. Two of the purposes of the intPrview were to solicit of the new GoYernor a controlling power for the Commissary, by conferring upon him the right of induction, and also that he might be the judge in testanwntnry causes., and thence deriw a portion of his income. The value, of the office was about .£:JOO. The request was refused, and the new GovPrnor was more than once afterwards heard to declare that he would have no Commissary in the Province; and, during his administration, did he not onl~- fulfil his declarat~on, but attempted to secme to himself the right to exercise powers which would soon haYe reduced all the clergy to abject contempt. Mr. Hewetson therefore never embarked for Marvland to discharge the duties of his office, and it was not till fourteen HEWETSON OR HEWSON OF IRELAND. 111 years afterwards that another Commissary was appointed in his pface. Another worthy was Bishop 1Vilson, "one of those Masters in Israel who looked abroad with eager and passionate interest upon the remotest regions of God's wide ha1Test-fiekl, and addressed words of wise, affectionate, and faithful counsel to the labourers who had been sent into them," and his coutinuecl friPnclship with Archdeacon Hewet son tended wt further to increase his interest in what was passing ab1·0,ltl. ,YP will now relate how the friendship between the Arch deacon and Bishop 1'~ilson became established, by quoting (with slight corrections) from the Life of the latter, compiled by the well-known Re,·. John Keble, M.A., Vicar of Hursley, in 186:3. Rebutting certain strictures upon Mr. 1Vilson being fined for non-compliance with strictly college duties, Keble says: •· How wr,r unlikely it is that a person bent on mischief of any kind 8hould persist in the course which of all others was most certain to attract the notice of those under whose discipline he was, and at times when it would be grossly scandalous and perfect ruin to his temporal prospects : at which time, and perhaps long before, Mr. Hewetson was both urging· his 'dear Friend T. 1'?.' to become a candidate for Holy Orders. and using- his interest with a Bishop to procure his ordination h;· special farnur; and it is pe1fectly incredible that he should ha,·e done so without great knowledge, and more than approbation, of 1Vilson's moral and religious demeanour. It appears that when Mr. ,vilson formed the resolution of studying for the sacred Ministry, his heart and mind experienced a change of the most important nature. That he did indeed receh·e much g·ood-and that, humanly speaking. through the influence of one friend in particular is beyond all dnubt, but of his having lfred previously like an unconverted, unhelie\·ing person, I sPe no symptom whatever. ·· 1\?ilsou took his Degree in .Arts on or about 16 February, 168,j-6, .At some time during his residence in college-how earh· I ha,·e not ht>en able to ascertain-he formed an a<:qi:tai1itancl' whieh, hr God's good proddencC1, was destined to determine not only hi;; outward c,llling-, hut the whole course (If his future life.

" At some time in the year of the Bishop's bere,1 n•ment (the death of his wife haying taken place on 7 March, 170--!i, his correspondence with Archdeacon Hewetson had ceased.

"By the kindness of the presPnt Vicar (lS(l:{), the ReY.

Wilson's friend was bom, as appears by the record of his admission at Trinity, in 16-J.::1, which would bring his 6(lth year t-o 1709. It is remarkable that the Bishop should not have set dmvn in his 'Diptychs' the dying day of so early and so dear a friend. "\Ve know otherwise how he cherished Hewetson's memory ; and if there be any truth in the tradition of the Bishop's peremptory rejection of a present from Swift of some of his works, it might be partly due to an indignant recollection of the gross insults offered by that coarsest of writers to his friend and early benefactor."

Torture usually being preferred to murder, male offenders against the '\Vhiteboys were houghed like their cattle, or their tongues torn out by the roots. These were the atrocities it was deemed necessary to repress. Suspicion had many times been directed to the Roman Cittholic Parish Priest of Clog-heen, Tipperary, Father Nicho las Sheehy. He lrnd made hi1melf conspicuous in the defence of prisoners, a.nd an indictment ht1d been made ag-ainst him at th!:' Cloumel G211eral Assizes, 2:3 }lay, 1 i6:3. His parish was notorious as a lVhitehoy centre. ,vhen a "·.,.hiteboy affair iu ,Yaterford had caused adfre measures to be resumed, au informer named Bridges disappeared mH.ler circumstances which nwde it certain that he had heeu murdered. Nicholas Sheehy, with his brother Edmund, was charged with being conce-rul'rl in the informer's umrder. So great was the excite IIWllt at th1~ time of thP trial, that the- Clnnmel Court-house wa;; smT,_mnded hy a party of carnlry. It was proYed there had been a conspiracy to mm·der Bridges, and that the Sheehies knew it. A ~Ir. Keating, described as a gentleman of propert,,· in the countr, offered to prove that Father Nicholas was at his house on the i1ight when the murder was committed, but the Rev. John Hewetson rose in Court and said that he h,1d a charge against Keating for having been present at the killing- of the soldiers who, carrying a prisoner to elonmel Gaol, were set upon near Sheehy's house. Keat ing-'s evidence was refused, and he was committed to the g-aol at Kilki~nny. Father Sheehy was tried on 12 March, 1 i66. at Clonmel, and found guilty, and on the 1-'>th of same month was hanged there, quartered, and beheaded. The same indictment also ch,1rged him with concocting the murder of the Earl of .Carrick, )fr. J ohu Bagenall, Mr. ,villiam Bag well, and the Rev. John Hewetson, and that these murders were proposed to a numerous assemblage of '\Vliiteboys. The historian Froude says of him, that he was as deep a criminal as ever swung from cross-beam. Father O'Brien, the coadjutor of the titular Bishop of Cashel, and four other Roman Catholic gentlemen came forward and revealed. under oath, the inner history of ,vhite bovism.

Hewetson did not allow the carriage to be used on Sundays except in wry Lad weather; on other occasions the elder members of the familr walked the distance, whilst the younger ones were conveyed in the car. '£he relation of this practical exposition of the doctrines he preached leads up to another and interesting- recital concerning- the Roman Catholic Priest of the district, who in those days resided on the hig-h road from Pilltown to Rathkiernn. Though the priest of an antagonistic Church, he was on intimate terms with Mr. Hewetsou and the family, and when the _younger members joined in tlw Sum:lay pilgrimages of their elders he used to im·ite thelll into his house to rest, and proride his "little Bantams,'' as he called them, with light edibles and milk. The estePm and reg·ard in which he held Mr. Hewetson was suc-h that, when passing throug·h his final illness, he sent for his friend and co1n-ersed with him upon his approaching dissolution and the tenets of his Church, and stated that he was convinced of its errors. "Gpon being exhorted br his friend to renounce a Church of which he recognized the errors, he replied that thoug·h he knew it was not the true Church, yet, on account of the oath he had taken, he could not serer himself from it. In the summer of 1 i98, when on tl risit to his second sou the Rev. James, at the Recto1:y, Kilmncthomas, he deceased at the age of seYenty ~·ears. It was the intention of the family to ha,·e buried him there, but his old parishioners of Aglish, Rathkieran, and Suh-ville repaired in a body to Kil macthomas, and represented that as he had lived so many years in their midst he should be laid to rest among them. The country was then in rebellion, and the relatires urged that his body might be dishonoured or his resting-place desecrated b,· tlw rebels; but without arail, his former parishioners ·declaring that nothing of the kind should be allowed to take place, and so, constituting themselres a body g-uartl, they conreyed his remains to Suinille, pursuing a cross•couutry route direct to the Suir, opposite to the Glebe House, instead of taking the longer one. by the high road through ,Yaterford. Arrfred at the rh·er, the body was taken across b.,· the boat belonging to the house. Passing the spring· and the fish-pond, the gateway was reached, and here uatiw sf'ntiment sPized another opportunity to express itself, for instead of taking: the body through the gateway it was passed on•r the "Stile in the lYall " a few feet distant, with the remark that, as he had passed and re-passed the stile so 128 lIElIOIHS OF THE 11on,E OF many times, he should go on'!' it 011Cl' ag-ai11 fur the la,-;t time.

The secuI1d son, named Baldwin, settletl 011 an estate in Flanders, giwn fo him by his father; from him descended the LainbCl'fini Family of Bologna, always con sidered as one of the most illustrious in that State. His descendant, Prosper Laurence Lambertini, was born at Bologna ;31 March, 16i5; Cardinal in li28, and elected Pope li Aug. li40, and took the name of Benedict XIV. He was the son of Marcel Lambertini, a Senator of illustrious birth, and of Lucrece Bulgarini his wife.

John Hewetson, and scene of stirring events in connection with the" \Yhiteboy" Rebellion, stands in a very pleasant situation on the left or northern bank of the Rfrer Suir, here dividing the county of Kilkenny (in which the house is situate) from that of ,vaterford. Rising in the southern part of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in the north-east of the county Tipperary, the river flows south, passing through the town of Thurles, the vicinit,r of C'ctshel, and on to Cahir, whence in an easterly di1w·tion it pursues its course by the ancient town of C'lonmel, where its northern bank is fiuel,r wooded, then through C,trrick-on-Suir to Suirdlle, whence in long reaches it finishes the remaining- nine miles of its course in a noble flow to the harbour of the Cit,r of \Vaterford. At a short distance from, and parallel to its northern bank, runs the high road from '\Vaterford to Pilltown and Carrick-on-Suir, passi:1g through Aglish l\fartin, Rathkieran, and 1Ioncoiu, at which latter place it is intersected by the road from Grange, which makes a gradual descent of perhaps three-quarters of a mile to the bank of the Suir, shortly before reaching which the Drive to the Parsonage presents itself on the right. Midway, and on the left of this approach, c,m still be seen the spring which, one hundred and fifty years ago, boiled and bubbled in leafy seclusion, and sent forth its sparkling· waters, as now, supplying in its beneficent course the fish-pond hard by on the right-and which tradition avers was made by the six sons of the old Rector-the form and dimensions of which are ret visible beneath Nature's .erdant drc~ss after the lapse t;f a century and a half (the tender hand of Nature working her changes with mysterious genth•m•ss, in powerful contrast to the ruthless hand of man). Further on, and adjoining the pastlll'e where the fish pond existed, stood a very extensive orchard of choice fruit trees. Facing this orchard, on the left side of the approach and midwa ,· between it and the river, are the ruins of an old Church which, there is reason to suppose, cannot have been used for Divine Service within tlw last four hundred rears. From their appearance it is t>rident that the S,lcred edifice was small but very strongly built, as portions of the massive walls, apparently those of the chancel, still attest. The 166 lIElIOIHS OF THE HOrSE OF whole is so profusely co,eretl with that "natural glory " of ancient ruins, fry (withnut \Yhich a ruin wonltl latk 11111eh of its beauty), so as, amid the ge1wral smTouwling- luxuria11c1,', to be entirely obscured from ,-iew en"n at a distanC'l' of a ft'W yards. Only on the east and south sides are then~ a11y tuml_1- stones, and these arP much d(,faced hY tiuw ancl m:at!H'r. One is of a ,-er,r remark11ble appear,rnce;and mu;_;t bP of g:reat age. Upon retracing our steps we rC'µ·ain tlw Drin,. and proceeding-, find om•:;p}n,s immediately at the "still'" in tl1P wall and gateway gfring· access to tlw Par,;mwg'\' (uf which we now g·et a back and north Yiew), standing- iu tht- middle of two and a half acres of greensward, consisting- of two enclosures, round three sides of whieh tiiw old trees are still standing-veteran sentinels owr a spot once the seene of so much life and the centre of gTPat aeth-ity-tlw re11rni11ing· and southern side being laYed hy the ,nttPrs of- " Tl1P grn1le ~nil' that, maki11~ 11·:i.r By inl"<'l't Clo11111el, acluru~ riL"h ,rat-e!'l',w<.l." The principal apartnwnts of the house foe(• the suutl1, and look out up<)n a lawn extending- sornt> fifty foC't fownrd,a; the river, and running- tlw wlwle width of tlw endosuru. Along the edge of the lawn is a low gm:a:sy l1,t11k ;;m·w,iuntPtl by a hedgerow, with lwre and tlwre a fine old tree, awl this, together with a drop of fh-e fept in the soil, sPpurate the lawn from a perfectly level and rich pasture extending tu tl1c riYer, from which it is tfo-iclecl by a hedge of splendid g-rowth. The county of Kilkenny, on account of its gTeat frrtility, is known as the "Golden Yalley," and here, on the bruad, lovely, tidal Suir, with its waters eYPr desc-C'nding from tlw Tipperary Mountains and rolling on thruug-h the niarwllously beautiful harbour of '\Ynterford to join the mighty Atlantic, with the magnificent domain of the l\Iarques;; of '\Yaterford, "Curraghmore," ,rz".~-1.1-ri.~, haclwd lJy thl' blue Cmmm'ragh;;, and the seat of the Earls of Bessburoug·h in the ,·ieinity, stood the memorable Glt>be House of Suin-illP, the "Old Home" of many memories, mid stately trees and luxuriant hedgerows, with its contiguous two hundred acrps of rieh lands known as "Hewson's (~uarter." Though with these lands time has wrought its inevifable changes, the locality is still spoken of by the original eighteenth-century appellation of "Hewson's Quarter." It is therefore not surprising· to learn that Patience Anne, the youngest daug·hter then at home, should have inrnked the aid of the :Muse to exprt'SS her tender regrets upon the family quitting Suirville after the decease of the Rev. John. HEWETSOX on IIE\YSOX OF IHEL.-\SD. 167 Of the many and raried e,ents which happened here, we can present but few to our readers, but believe such will prove of interest. Although a century has 0lapsed since the family quitted SuirYille, upon the death of the old Rector in the latter half of 1 i"D8, the meuwr.r of his "six sons," afterwards in the Church, the Army, and the Xa vr, still huvers round the spot. Their tHlllll'S wen• John, Jauws, Francis, Robert, ,villiam, a!ll.1 Georµ_·l•. .Athletie, de,er, and good-hearted, they took a gTl'llt hold upon the affections and admiration of the people, aud, though 0lle hundred and twenty years have passed, their achievements continue to form part of the local traditions. They were spokf'n of as the ,; Six Hewsons " and as "always being- seeu tog-ether." Cpon the writer visiting the spot recently an octogenarian d(•serilJPd with gTeat animation the fish-pond made by them, pn•duusl.r rl'ferred to, awl pointed out what still remained nf it with a seutiuwut peeuliar to the Irish, whose ,·eneratiou fur the past is one of their principal characteristics. It appears that the,r werp famous at "Hurling," and Wf.•rc• consequl'lltly much in 1w1nest hy the young men of the l,icality upon occasions whE'n they were not sure of their strength in playing- against the "Carrick Boys," and the Author was assured hy the octog;enarian that whenever such assistance was g-fren the Locals always came off victorious. Native gallantry neglects not to pay tribute to the beauty of the gentle sex of Suinille. It is a fact that the Rector's wife mts as beautiful as she was bra,e. Apropos t-o this sub ject we may relate a circumstance which occurred in con- 1wction with a Ball g-fren by the Lord Bess borough of the last centmT, at Bessb()rou~h Hall, some few miles from Suirville, at which both }Irs. Hewetson and lwr daughters were present. A1110ng· the g-uests was a gentleman to whom the Suirville family was not known, and a Cl)Jffersation which took place between him and a second gentk•man, who knew the family well, turnNl upon the guests of the evening, during which the latter asserted that the former would not be able, from the c•xtreme lwauty of :afrs. Hewetson, to distinguish her from her daughters. 'fhe first-muned gentleman, being· conscious of his n bility to make the distinction, laid a wager with his friend that he would do so, but before separating, after the enjoyment of tlw e,·ening, had to confess his inability, and that he had lost his w.lg·er. \Ye will now refer to a ,Yhitebov incident. It was in the afternoon of 11 March, 1 ,66, the· day before the trial of Father Sheehy at the Court-house of Clonmel for complicity 168 JIEJIOIHS OF THE TIO-CSE OF in the murder of an informer against Ow 1,-hitebo,rs, that a peasant of the neighbourhood 1rnmPd Patrick Lanagan presented himself at the Parsonage and dPsired an int1•1Tiew with the" Doctor," as the Rer. John Hewetson was stded. There were but fo-o members of the familr at ·11mnf', l\Irs. Hewetson and her roun.,·est son GPor:2,~'. a nan1l officer, the Doctor being \ma,t on hi.-: ~lagisterial duties. l\Ir. George Hewetson, with the hall dnor closP Doctor knows what is right to do, and he will do it. I cannot interfere with his duty." "I'm mighty sorry, Ma'am, tliat you refuse, but may bless ings rest upon you !" Auel so ended the intervimv. Cpon another occasion an ewnt occurred, the sequel to which, had the design been successful, would have been the murder of the Rev. John Hewetson and the whole of his familv. It.-appe,1rs that some time subsequent to the occurrence ahoYe r(•lated, a hoat came to anchor in the River Suir, at a short di,;tance frum the house, as the shades of evening began to fall, and a boatman was seen shortly afterwards making his way tu the Parsonage. The Doctor was not at home, but hi;; son G1.•ur~·e, the naval officer, saw the man, who preferred a requt•st that as tlu1 tide r.lid not serve for his boat making fu1ther pr(lgn'ss that night, might he be allowed to lea\'e a l_iox i11 the house till the morruw. Of this box he had pll'rlg-ed the :-:afr c.ldin:-ry, but the crmntry being so much dis tur1.1l•cl hi> was afrnid tu kPPp it in the boat during the night. Pn•Yi,rnslv. at time,;, similar ads of kindness ha sniff, but it was a dclusiou ; he then lookc•d out of the barred fanlight, yet he descried no object at the dllor. Hl• tried tlie bar of the door, the lock .aml bolt,;;-all ,n•rc• secnn•; so he passed out of tht' inner door, turned tlie key, and n•g,tining the study, which was now lig·hted up, rang· thL' bell sharply.

PetN that upon another occasion a request came from the Suir that a box: mig:ht be left under co,·er at the Parsona.ge for the night. "Willing as e,·er to be of use, and to help those whom it was in the power of the ReY.
